BREXIT PLANNING:
We are struggling to resist increased pressure from the supply-chain on the cost of many items(and/or their components such as yarn/rubber, plastic etc) due to Brexit and the weakening GBP£ situation. Whilst it has been very much in favour for our non-GBP£ customers it is now having a detrimental effect on the costs for most imported products and even they will experience some inevitable increases shotly. We have always battled hard to stop our suppliers increasing costs but, we have no weapons to use against the exchange rate. The continued demands for extra administration and investment in "insurance procedures" to try to allay the widley agreed negative effects a no deal will burden us all with is taking it's toll on the whole supply chain.

We are currently projecting an interim price increase of approximately 3%, possibly more on some items, in advance of our annual re-alignment of prices historically implemented on 1st January each year. These increases could be more, we are hearing of increases of  as much as 15% from some. Unfortunately the supply-chain, having suffered conciderable contraction for many years, does not allow very much flexibility in sources for some products any more.  See individual items on-line for their new prices as they are revised.

Given the bizarre situation we find ourselves in it could be prudent to invest in some mission critical stock to avoid both planned cost increases and any "emergency" measures we may have to put in place. It isn't our intention to encourage hoarding or to artificially stimulate too much concern or inflate purchases(it's not in anyone's interests to do that) but we think we do have an obligation to you, our clients, to stress the obvious dangers that we may find ourselves facing in the next few months. We recently encountered rationing on an item from one of our suppliers for this very reason and found it quite difficult to circumvent the inevitable stock shortage ourselves, even with 25 years plus of product sector knowledge.

We're not shouting "doom & gloom", merely gently nudging you to seriously consider ensuring you have sufficient stocks of mission critical items to cover up to 8 weeks, at minimum 4, of a mission critical product "drought".

Here's hoping it will all "go away" soon.
